LECTUREs.-A number of gentlemen
who are not willing that the winter
shall pass without an attempt to give
their families the benefit OF single
entertainment of higher order than a
dubbed together and guaranteed the
amount necessary to secure three first
class entertainments during the months
of February and MARCH. Among the
lecturers thought of are Col. Copeland,
who has given such satisfaction in
Platteville that they re-engage him
every season, and will have him twice
this year, and Judge Albion w. Tour
gee, whose books "A Fools Errandn
and Bricks Without Straw have been
SO extensively read. These two will
probably be selected, and the third is
not yet determined upon. If the Lam
caster public allows the hackers of this
enterprise to ''get left it will be q
shame and libel on the community.
Announcements will be made in season
and let all turn out and patronize some
thing worth the money and tlmo it costs.

READING MATTER FOR THE ASYLUM.

at the asylum who are very fond of

the asylum to furnish sufficient reading
matter for so many, and it is the desire
of the superintendent that all who have
papers and magazines that they do not
care to keep, will send or bring them TO
the asylum. A box has been placed at
the gate to receive contributions which
can be dropped in without getting
out of the sleigh. 1t is hoped
that everyone will feel an interest in
this matter and will remember that any
books, papers, magazines, either in
English or German, will be very gladly
received.
STREET SPRINKLING.-We don't seem
to need the street sprinkled Just
now, but next summer we shall, and we
shall probably be accommodated. Last
week Z. Graham announced that he
would sprinkle; that he was having a
tank and whole outfit built, and this
week T. II. Wiley comes to the front
with his subscription paper filed with
names and amounts they are TO pay,
and says he proposes to sprinkle the
streets himself. 1t never sprinkles but
